This is a bad investment for the busy gamer. It could very well be the best game ever
made but the time investment required is simply too high. Games with this rating should be
reserved for extended illnesses, long vacations, or periods of unemployment.
This rating typically represents a game that has a steep time requirement but manages to
avoid the lowest rating by providing a considerable amount of entertainment for the time invested.
This type of game is a risk for the busy gamer because it typically means that it will be the only game
played for some time to come. Games with this rating should be avoided by the busy gamer who
wants to have a social life.
This is the sort of game that becomes a long term commitment, requiring several hours a
week to fully enjoy. The busy gamer can walk away from a game with this rating for extended
periods but may find they have to relearn some aspect of the game when they return to it. In the
worst cases, the busy gamer may have to begin again from scratch having forgotten what goal they
were trying to achieve. Games with this rating typically represent an investment of twelve to fifteen
hours a week.
The busy gamer can be assured that a game with this rating represents one of the best
investments they can make. There may be some aspect of the game that prevents it from receiving
the highest score, perhaps a steep learning curve or a slightly higher overall time requirement, but
where the busy gamer is concerned, this game delivers the goods.
This is the top dog, the big kahuna, the… well, you get the point. This is the highest rating
we can give a game and it is not given out easily or freely so the busy gamer can rest assured that
a game with this rating is one of the best investments they can make. Maximum entertainment value
versus a minimum time expenditure. That’s a pretty fancy way of saying “more fun for j00”.

At busygamer.com, we review games based on how much time they take to play, not how pretty they are
or how awesome the company is that makes it. The latest game on the market could be the best game
ever made but if it's going to take six hours a day to fully enjoy it, we're going to give it our lowest rating.
We try to give you, the Busy Gamer, a rating system that makes sense based on the real world where you
have to get up in the morning to go to work for the day, come home and spend some time with your
family, and then, if you're lucky, have some time to play a game you're going to enjoy before heading
off to bed. The equation is simple. How much time and money are you going to have to spend to enjoy
a game? We do our best to answer that. Now if someone would just pay us to do this stuff.
The definition of a Busy Gamer
is that person who loves to game but
has a job, a family, and/or a life that
doesn't revolve around gaming.
Admit it, if you're a gamer, you'd love
to be able to play games all day long
but there are only a chosen few who
have that option. We call those
chosen few "rich folk", "lucky
sunzabitches", and in some cases...
